Astrolabe: FBA Product Finder is an Android app for researching products to sell on Amazon. It pulls live listing data — price, sales rank, reviews, ratings and listing age — scores each product out of 100, and calculates your likely profit after Amazon's fees.
Helium 10 wants $129 a month. Jungle Scout and SmartScout start at $49. None of them will let you research a product on your Android phone, which is probably where you are right now. That's the gap I built this for. It assumes you've never sold anything, because most people haven't.
Free to start. No card required. US, Canada, UK, Germany and France.
On iPhone?
One email when the iOS app is out. Nothing else.
No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
An astrolabe is what sailors used to find their position before GPS existed. You point it at a star and it works out where you are. I liked that for a name because it's roughly the job here. You're somewhere in a catalogue of millions of products with no idea which ones are any good, and this gives you a fix.
I don't mean they have a worse mobile version. I mean they don't do product research on Android at all. Helium 10 does have an Android app, and you can install it on the free plan, but it only contains Profits, Ads and Alerts. No Black Box, no Xray, no Cerebro.

I took these off each company's own pricing page in September 2026, on the monthly plans with no annual commitment. Prices move, so go and check. That's why I listed them instead of saying "cheaper than the competition".
Every product gets a number out of 100 and a verdict in plain English. The number is calculated the same way every single time. The AI explains what went into it, but it doesn't get to decide it, which matters more than it sounds. A "Strong Buy" is rare on purpose. If I handed them out freely the score would be worth nothing to you.
Tap into a product and you also get the money side: FBA fees, shipping, ads, returns, storage. You'll know roughly what you have to sell it for before you commit anything.
Illustration of the product view. Figures are examples.
Search something. Read the score. Ask why it got that score.
Type in anything you're curious about. It pulls live Amazon data: price, sales rank, reviews, ratings, and how long the listing has been up.
A number out of 100 and a sentence telling you what it means. No spreadsheet, and no dashboard you have to learn first.
The AI adviser breaks down where the number came from, runs your margins, and tells you what to look at next.
The things you'll actually open.
US, Canada, UK, Germany and France. The German and French versions are properly translated rather than run through a machine, which took an embarrassing amount of time to get right. Most cheap tools are US-only.
Ask it anything. It won't assume you know what BSR or ACOS or MOQ mean, because when I started I didn't either.
Fees, shipping, ads, returns, storage. All of it, before you spend anything.
A product selling well two months after launch is a completely different bet from one that's been up for six years. Surprisingly few tools show you this.
Jump straight to sourcing options for whatever you're looking at.
From opening a seller account through to your first order, written for someone who has never done it.
Start free. Only upgrade once it's already earning you something.
Prices in US dollars. Google Play charges you in your own currency at its exchange rate, so your total may differ.
Enough to work out whether any of this is for you.
For when you're actually hunting for something to sell.
If you're researching for other people, or running a catalogue instead of hunting for one product.
I built this on my own, in Montreal.
There's no team, no investors, nobody in sales. That's the reason it's Android only for now. I'd rather do one platform properly than two of them badly, and iOS is coming once this one is solid. It's also why the prices are sitting on this page instead of behind a "request a demo" form. When you email support you're emailing me, which is either reassuring or alarming depending on how you feel about that.
I should be straight about what this isn't. It won't tell you you're about to make $10,000 a month. Nobody can tell you that, and the people who do are selling you a course. It pulls the numbers, does the arithmetic, and shows its working. What you do with that is your call.
Things people have asked me.
Yes. That's who I had in mind the entire time I was building it. Most of these tools quietly assume you already speak the language. This one explains things, and the adviser adjusts depending on how much you already know.
Because it does less. The expensive ones are full suites for established sellers juggling inventory, ad campaigns and several brands at once. If that's you, go and buy one of those, they're better at it. This does one job: helping someone who hasn't started yet work out what to sell. And there's no sales team or ad budget built into the price.
Yes — the Android app is live on Google Play now, free to start. iPhone is still to come; there's a link at the top of this page to be told when it lands.
Because I'm one person and I'd rather get one right than two of them half-right. Android shipped first and iOS follows. If you add your email to the iPhone list it genuinely helps me work out how fast to move on it, so please do.
Live Amazon listings, plus price and sales-rank history. The figures are estimates meant for research. Check the exact fees in Seller Central before you commit money to anything.
No. It's a research tool. It shows you data and estimates so you can make up your own mind. The decision is yours and so is the risk.
Any time, from your Google Play account. Billing runs through Play, so cancelling works exactly like it does for every other app on your phone.
Free to start, and you don't need a card to try it.
Android. US, Canada, UK, Germany and France.
